Sausages with Lentils and Roasted Peppers
February 26th, 2009Time for another recipe - this one comes from a calendar I got from Sainsburys - not tried it yet but looks good.
1 tbsp sunflower oil
8 good quality sausages
1 onion peeled and sliced
few sprigs thyme
200g dried puy lentiles
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 x 415g can beef consomme or same quantity beef stock
1/2 x 450g jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
handfull of chopped parsley
Heat the oil in a casserole and brown the sausages. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until softened. Stir in the thyme, lentils and garlic and cook for a minute then stir in the consomme or stock. Add a can of hot water and bring to the boil.
Lower the heat and partially cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the chopped peppers and simmer for another 10-15 mins until the lentils are tender and the sausages are cooked through. Season to taste, then stir in the chopped parsley to serve.
